Answer:

$8.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the tax rate is 9% of the lunch cost, the tax for this lunch is .72 dollars since 9% of 8 is 0.72(see math below). You add the 0.72 to 8 and the total cost is $8.72.

8 x (9/100) = tax

8 x 0.09 = 0.72

8+0.72 = $8.72

The distance from the vertex to the centroid is twice the distance from the centroid to the side.
This means that 3x + 5 = 2 * (2x)

3x + 5 = 4x

x = 5
